Support Mayborn
It is only through the generosity of our alumni and friends that we are able to continue the stellar reputation of the journalism program at UNT.
The Mayborn School of Journalism at UNT is funded partially by the State of Texas. The other portion comes from grants and gifts by government agencies, foundations, and individuals.
